Photos of an 1835 fusee watch repair I did in 2008. (Milled the chain table 1.5mm longer x 0.76mm deep (0.059" x .030") then drilled a hole 0.025mm diameter (0.001") , and turned a pin to fit it, to hold the link end of the fusee chain)Photos taken with a Canon A580, set to maximum zoom. Auto exposure, flash overridden, lighting with a Tensor halogen 100w bulb at approx 1 ft from subject.

First photo was with the fusee mounted in my watchmaker's lathe, prior to cutting off the pin. Taken with all the same settings, but by holding the camera lens up against a slide projection lens, and shooting through it, for more magnification. (approx 20X).

Second photo is of the fusee and chain, after cutting off the pin, with a metric ruler, for scale.

Third photo is of the watch movement reasssembled and running. Those things holding it are my fingers."There's only three tempos: slow, medium and fast. When you get between in the cracks, ain't nuthin' happenin'." Ben Webster

Took this from the top of the south pylon of the Harbour Bridge. Yes, you can get up there, its not part of the bridge climb. Its much cheaper and just as spectacular.Just used a standard 18-35mm lens, adjusted the colour and contrast, added a gradient layer mask to darken the clouds to how they looked on the day.
